All of your spinal nerves branch off from your spinal cord and exit from in-between each vertebral articulation, branching and traveling throughout the rest of your body. It is these spinal nerves that serve as pathways from your brain to your body allowing your brain to communicate with your body and control all the processes that occur within it, such as lungs breathing, heart beating, food absorption, muscle contraction and pain sensation.
